Non-Immigrant Visas

To visit the United States on a temporary basis, a foreign citizen will need a non-immigrant visa. These types of visas are issued for many purposes, such as for tourists, students, individuals needing medical treatment, certain types of temporary work in this country, and more. If you or someone you know needs to obtain a non-immigrant visa, we recommend that you contact the Law Offices of Ally Bolour to arrange for a consultation with our
Los Angeles immigration attorney. Our firm is dedicated to providing you with the effective legal assistance you need to accomplish your goals.

Many types of non-immigrant visas exist under U.S. immigration law. The purpose of your travel to the U.S. will dictate what type you should apply for. Information about the type of non-immigrant visa you need will be helpful when you apply at a U.S. Embassy or Consul in your country. Certain visas, such as those involving temporary employment, will require labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor and / or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approval of certain forms, filed by your U.S. employer.
